00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,560
we've teamed up with cableorganizer.com

2
00:00:03,799 --> 00:00:11,960
ubiquity networks bonded logic Trend net

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,400
and protoc case to give this place a

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:18,680
complete makeover now the only thing that remains

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,720
is to do something about the

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,119
noise that's where the ultr touch batting comes in the bad

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:32,520
news is that we've got some theories but no concrete ideas when it comes to how

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,719
we're going to cover the inside of this room with it the good news is that because you

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:43,480
have to leave it out overnight to fluff up to its full

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,840
thickness it's pretty easy to find in our

11
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,199
office our ant lion audio mod mic 5

12
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:04,159
giveaway continues we're giving away three mod mic FES and a highi man

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,479
Edition s mod Mite combo enter now at the link

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:12,759
below okay someone put all this stuff in a pile I got to get it over here anyway

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:17,280
this insulation stuff that we're using is really cool I was first put onto it

16
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,960
when Mike from Silent PC review was showing me how he built his an at coic

17
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,000
chamber it's made by a company called bonded logic and it's got a few things

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,439
that set it apart from other insulation so it's not made of fiberglass or

19
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:33,119
anything like that it's actually made of recycled blue jeans so it's like if

20
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,920
you're into sustainability then I guess that's cool but it's also got awesome

21
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:43,280
thermal properties and some of the best acoustic properties both in terms of

22
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:47,399
like dispersing sound and actually blocking its transmission they actually

23
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:50,240
make a ton of stuff out of this uh recycled blue jean materials when I was

24
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:54,360
talking to them on the phone they actually mentioned to me that one of the

25
00:01:52,280 --> 00:02:00,200
biggest uses for this stuff now is actually shipping perishables like food

26
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:03,240
so blue apron a sponsor of ours actually

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,799
uses bonded logic shipping material to

28
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,800
ship you know like cold stuff that sits on your doorstep so that it doesn't get

29
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,920
hot and spoil in the sun pretty cool right check this out check this out if

30
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:19,360
you didn't believe it's made of recycled jeans there's a piece of zipper that's

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,440
awesome okay so right now what we're doing is we're getting a baseline

32
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:28,080
measurement of what the sound is like through this wall of the server room so

33
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:36,680
everybody quiet it's about 40 to 43

34
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:39,040
DB pretty sure that says LS right we've

35
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:47,239
got a couple of different tools to help us

36
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:49,640
cut uh we do have a hand insulation saw

37
00:02:47,239 --> 00:02:54,200
but from what I've read online one of the best ways to cut it is

38
00:02:52,640 --> 00:03:00,040
actually with a band saw so we had tried to come up with a

39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:06,239
brilliant plan for using like some kind of a a mesh or like a netting to keep it

40
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:13,120
up but we actually ended up settling on Good oldfashioned Nails hold on I got to

41
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,799
get a hammer um so we'll start in the

42
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:20,519
corner behind the UPS over there oh I'm also going to need a lot more Nails than

43
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,519
this dang It

44
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:29,799
Bobby okay I'm clearly going to be better off pre-measuring

45
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
this look I'm new at this okay actually

46
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:36,120
you know what for this one I should just go right up the

47
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,480
wall if this doesn't work we don't really have another plan at the

48
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:47,120
moment this is looking like it might work huh how about

49
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:56,819
that okay so just a few more hours of this and then I'm

50
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,480
good okay this is a thick one wow I'm

51
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:07,720
going to go through a ton of nails how many are in

52
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720
here I don't feel like this is

53
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:14,680
enough oh damn it was that the label maker we'll deal with it

54
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:22,280
later oh sh that's the

55
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:26,520
steel good for security bad for putting nails

56
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,720
into good thing we dusted the server

57
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,080
right we are ready to get our after reading okay everybody

58
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:46,000
quiet and we have discovered a fatal flaw in our testing

59
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:48,160
methodology because the room is way

60
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,520
quieter but we would have had to take our measurement from quite a bit closer

61
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:54,840
to isolate the noise that comes from the room from the noise that comes from the

62
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:00,440
computers that are here and the Transformer over there so I give up

63
00:04:57,479 --> 00:05:06,440
whatever mission accomplished but boy is there ever still a lot of work to do so

64
00:05:03,479 --> 00:05:12,320
what I discovered very quickly when working with the ultr touch insulation

65
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:15,120
is that it still sheds a fair bit of

66
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:20,400
material creating dust for my freshly dusted servers look at this keyboard

67
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:26,880
look at this keyboard fortunately I was one step

68
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:31,120
ahead and I ordered a like a custom air

69
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:35,479
filter but we need a longer term

70
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:39,280
solution so that's where this special

71
00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:42,520
black stage cloth comes in if we can

72
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,680
cover up all of the insulation in here

73
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:49,670
we'll be able to keep this place from being a uh a dust

74
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,080
mine let's get CRA

75
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:58,840
aacan holy crap this thing is heavy

76
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,039
inexpensive this roll was like hundreds

77
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:06,319
of dollars this stuff is acoustically neutral I

78
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:10,880
believe is the term for it and it lets sound pass through so it can be absorbed

79
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:16,800
by the ultra touch if we were to put plastic over it

80
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:19,400
we would actually get substantially more

81
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:24,800
Reflections where my tape measure go this is the problem with any DIY

82
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:30,240
project so I've actually done a lot of the easy stuff along this left wall here

83
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:35,039
it only takes a couple of nails and Staples actually to hold it in place but

84
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,520
now it's going to get a lot more challenging so check this out standing

85
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,080
right behind the servers you can hear how loud they

86
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,840
are and standing right here it's that

87
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,199
much quieter cool huh oh nice I think this is

88
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:57,840
going to make it all the way into this corner

89
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,840
perfect okay I need my

90
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:05,800
stapler another handy dandy thing about this

91
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:07,440
fabric is once you uh start ripping it

92
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,560
it rips in a straight line in both directions as far as I can

93
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:18,759
tell I need shirts made of this

94
00:07:16,039 --> 00:07:25,720
stuff so everyone's back in the office now though it is a couple days

95
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:28,520
later um so I can't afford to

96
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:34,400
accidentally unplug anything anymore

97
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:37,560
oh no I pressed the button

98
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,000
Escape I didn't put dutin behind the

99
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:44,159
server cabinet itself just cuz I figured if I'm running cables back there or

100
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:47,199
anything like that I didn't want to have something that is more

101
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:05,479
grippy not bad

102
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,240
okay finally almost there we've got all

103
00:08:05,479 --> 00:08:13,319
the installation contained and finally

104
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:17,680
the last piece from protoc case arrived

105
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:22,639
so this is my custom vent for the door

106
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:25,759
of the server room now noise isolation

107
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:29,080
relies on sealing up a room as much as

108
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:30,520
you I'll open this later come here and

109
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:36,880
as you can see I've got this just covered but in the event that our air

110
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,680
conditioning fails we've actually got a

111
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:44,320
thermostat here that's going to monitor the temperature of the room and kick on

112
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:48,839
an auxiliary fan up there so at least it

113
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:51,920
doesn't completely bake in here so Jake

114
00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:55,279
designed and protocase created for us a

115
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,399
custom shroud that we're going to cover

116
00:08:55,279 --> 00:09:02,120
this hole with so that the sound doesn't have a direct path out but the air still

117
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:06,959
has a way in ow my

118
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,240
elbow it's metal what do they expect to happen to it in shipping no I'm not

119
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:16,800
angry they packed it well oh my

120
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,680
knee oh my heat sinks would any of you

121
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:24,279
watching this believe I'm not much of a handyman you guys try cutting through

122
00:09:21,959 --> 00:09:30,600
5in thick blue jeans it's hard okay just going at it upside

123
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:35,160
down ow damn

124
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:38,200
it oh no where did all these screws go

125
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,480
don't have time for this there it is all

126
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:45,800
right come on in Brandon I think this hole is not

127
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:52,519
optimal I think we may have to cut back a bit more also I have to remove some of

128
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:57,040
my nails did he just Hammer Nails into a

129
00:09:52,519 --> 00:10:00,120
door yes yes I did and now I'm removing

130
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:02,600
them with my bare hands

131
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:07,519
oh damn I was hoping to hook that up there yeah okay screw it I'm going in

132
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:16,160
we're just going to drill right through the metal a cut myself on a drill bit okay

133
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,360
here we go wait a minute oh I installed

134
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,079
them backwards

135
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:28,560
ah actually a very simple kind of elegant

136
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:33,120
design good work Jake so we still have to do this then the

137
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:38,519
dutin then the grand finale here we

138
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:41,519
go acid test

139
00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:41,519
time

140
00:10:43,959 --> 00:10:46,959
aha

141
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:55,680
nice wow it's actually almost level too look at that awesome so there's

142
00:10:53,279 --> 00:11:00,240
ventilation and here is noise blocking

143
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:08,320
ow home stretch now we just got to secure the insulation

144
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,320
to the door and

145
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:21,760
cover oh we're so close so 42 by about

146
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,760
90 so I want to secure this really

147
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:29,760
well people are probably wondering why I'm using nails for this the answer is

148
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:33,920
pretty simple they're easy to remove I'm sure it's wrong sure the internet is

149
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:38,760
going to tell me about why it's wrong and then I'll know so it's good that's

150
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:40,920
how we learn by doing things wrong and

151
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:45,680
then being corrected on the internet I'm going to cut it sort of approximately

152
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:49,399
but smaller and then just kind of fold it over I will give you this Brandon

153
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,800
this really is very cool fabric

154
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:59,360
ow there so

155
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:04,639
theoretically I don't need this anymore it's all covered you know what I think

156
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:09,519
the air filter on this thing is overkill anyway I'm not going to bother get in

157
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:18,920
there hiya okay so we're done then right

158
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,680
the room is quiet the room is clean the

159
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:30,040
cables are managed and ah fresh from its Adventure

160
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:33,199
in learning to be water cooled

161
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,199
this export

162
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:41,519
server is sliding back into the rack

163
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,519
there's nothing left to do

164
00:12:41,839 --> 00:12:46,320
right you underestimate me my

165
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,399
friends RGB

166
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:59,560
lighting oh this is rgbw chainable up to 3

167
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:05,000
m okay first I need to know if these are the magnetic

168
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:07,480
kits oh yeah baby they are okay that's

169
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,800
excellent we've got a couple Standalone power supplies cuz we don't actually

170
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:19,399
want these to run off of the computers that are in here because the RGB always

171
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:23,519
needs to work I cannot

172
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:26,360
wait oh this is going to be sick sick I

173
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:30,959
tell you got to give some thought to Cable Management here given that was the

174
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:35,480
whole point of this bloody project okay so we're just going to go

175
00:13:32,839 --> 00:13:39,320
straight into the wall realistically these do not need to run off the UPS wow

176
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:45,079
it's amazing that's what I'm talking

177
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:50,160
about all right let's see if I can hit both of these at

178
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:55,199
once oh

179
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:58,519
yes Ting makes it easy to spend less on

180
00:13:55,199 --> 00:14:00,199
your monthly Mobile bill basically you

181
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:04,720
head over to their website so that's Linus doing.com we''ve got that Linked

182
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:09,560
In the video description and check out their savings calculator you put in your

183
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:14,880
last few months of bills you put in how much you paid and it lets you know if

184
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,480
Tings pay for only what you use system is going to work for you and the odds

185
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:23,279
are pretty good because the average Ting bill is only 23 bucks a month per device

186
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:26,600
so you must be sitting there going Linus well this sounds like a kind of shoddy

187
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:31,360
mobile carrier where their customer service probably sucks but that's not

188
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:37,800
the case if you call up Ting you can try it you will speak to a real live human

189
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:40,440
being no phone tree no automated menu

190
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:46,040
nothing like that and data is now just 10 bucks a gig beyond the first Gigabyte

191
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:53,279

192
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:56,920
